One the UK’s largest event venues, Manchester Central, has opened up its state-of-the-art broadcast studio to a range of businesses and organisations, signaling the beginning of the new era of hybrid conferencing in the UK.

Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce recently joined forces with Manchester Central for the resurgence of the 'Manchester - Destination for Business' event series.
